Lake Hartwell took up much land in Oconee, Pickens, and Anderson Co. SC along woth much in GA too. Any land that was near the rivers are under water now.

Also, I am told by a friend who lives on the GA side that some contemporaries of Almon Powell are buried at Old Liberty cemetery. Is it possible he is buried there in an unmarked grave?

One more question regarding Lake Hartwell. Horse Shoe is mentioned in an 1857 death record from Pickens Co., SC Is what was Horse Shoe under the Lake???? Kathleen Burnett

David is right. Lake Hartwell water level at full pool is 660 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSN). Therefore any land on any stream that shares water with what is now Lake Hartwell, which is below 660 feet altitude (or MSN), is covered by lake waters when it is full. Allen David S.
